These grants ensure that more European operators and aircraft, such as the ATR 42-600 (pictured) are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures.
Published: 
20 July 2016

European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

Specifically, the following results are expected:

  • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
  • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
  • 15 PinS LPV procedures
  • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
  • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
  • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
  • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
  • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

“These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

      European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

      The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

      The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

      In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

      Specifically, the following results are expected:

      • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
      • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
      • 15 PinS LPV procedures
      • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
      • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
      • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
      • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
      • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

      “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

      The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

      The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

        Published: 
        20 July 2016

        European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

        The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

        In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

        Specifically, the following results are expected:

        • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
        • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
        • 15 PinS LPV procedures
        • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
        • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
        • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
        • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
        • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

        “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

        The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

          European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

          The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

          In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

          Specifically, the following results are expected:

          • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
          • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
          • 15 PinS LPV procedures
          • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
          • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
          • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
          • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
          • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

          “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

          The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

              European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

              The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

              The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

              In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

              Specifically, the following results are expected:

              • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
              • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
              • 15 PinS LPV procedures
              • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
              • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
              • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
              • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
              • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

              “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

              The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

              The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                  Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                  20 July 2016

                  European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                  The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                  In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                  Specifically, the following results are expected:

                  • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                  • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                  • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                  • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                  • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                  • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                  • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                  • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                  “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                  The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                  European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                  The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                  In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                  Specifically, the following results are expected:

                  • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                  • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                  • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                  • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                  • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                  • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                  • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                  • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                  “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                  The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                  The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                      Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                      Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                      20 July 2016

                      European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                      The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                      The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                      In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                      Specifically, the following results are expected:

                      • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                      • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                      • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                      • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                      • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                      • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                      • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                      • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                      “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                      The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                      The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                        20 July 2016

                        European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                        The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                        In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                        Specifically, the following results are expected:

                        • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                        • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                        • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                        • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                        • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                        • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                        • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                        • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                        “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                        The total budget for the second call was EUR 6 million.

                        The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of EGNOS-based operations, including LPV-200 procedures.

                          Meanwhile, the 13 projects selected as part of the first call are all currently at various stages of implementation, with some already taking positive steps towards enabling EGNOS operations, particularly as they relate to regional aviation. Among these initial achievements is an upgrade of three simulators, with one having recently entered the market and the second to follow in the coming months. Another project is well on its way to successfully retrofitting a regional aircraft, making it to be another ‘ready to fly’ with EGNOS in 2017.

                          Overall, the first call is on course to publish up “first package “of 15 EGNOS procedures by the end of 2016.

                          European GNSS Agency (GSA) funds 14 projects to help foster the implementation of EGNOS-based operations and LPV-200 procedures at European airports as part of its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants.

                          The GSA recently announced the projects selected for funding under its 2015 Aviation Call for Grants GSA/EEX.0030/2015. This second call brought great results, with 14 projects selected for funding, starting from July and August 2016.

                          The funded projects are expected to foster the design, development and operational implementation of European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS)-based operations, including LPV-200 (localiser performance with vertical guidance) procedures, at different European aerodromes, with an emphasis on the regional airports and heliports that general and business aviation operators depend upon.

                          In addition, the call also aims to support the development and installation of GPS/EGNOS-enabled avionics and grant airworthiness certification for required navigation performance approach (RNP APCH) procedures down to LPV minima and point in space (PinS), and to achieve the approval of Air Operator Certificates (AOCs) for LPV operations of aircraft already equipped with satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) capabilities.

                          Specifically, the following results are expected:

                          • 40 LPV procedures at 18 airports
                          • 2 LPV-200 procedures at Italy’s Trento Airport
                          • 15 PinS LPV procedures
                          • 2 RNP 0.3 routes
                          • 44 aircraft retrofitted by 9 operators
                          • 4 avionics solutions (STC) development
                          • 3 flight simulator-type upgrades
                          • Development of EGNOS navigation and surveillance sensors for (RPAS) applications.

                          “These grants will ensure more European airports and more European operators are able to take full advantage of EGNOS procedures, meaning increased safety and more accessibility for everyone,” says GSA Head of Market Development GG Calini.

                            ContextCapture Improves Quality of Reality Modeling Within Geospatial Workflows

                            19.7.2016 17:01   Bentley Systems  

                            Bentley Systems announces general access to the latest release of ContextCapture and ContextCapture Center. This release enhances the accessibility, scale, and quality of reality models that can be produced for use in BIM and geospatial workflows. Key capabilities include:

                            • New multi-resolution mesh support for third-party formats including Esri i3s, Google Earth KML, SpaceEyes3D, OSGB (OpenSceneGraph), and LODTreeExport formats.
                            • Multi-resolution mesh support for ContextCapture’s native 3MX format.
                            • A threefold increase from 30 to 100 gigapixels of imagery that can be processed with ContextCapture.

                            The expansion of multi-resolution format support enables ContextCapture to provide improved quality and performance of reality modeling data within geospatial workflows, particularly valuable for the large community of ArcGIS and other geospatial users. These users can now reduce the cost and time for reality capture and increase accessibility of reality data throughout projects and among enterprise stakeholders. 

                            The expansion in processing capacity to 100 gigapixels for ContextCapture makes it affordable and easier to produce larger models and 3D meshes with high fidelity and cm level precision, even at scales as large as entire cities (kilometer scale models).

                            “At Christopher Burke Engineering we are always innovating to deliver cutting-edge services to our clients and look to Bentley’s ContextCapture to complement our traditional survey approaches. The software allows us to very easily process hundreds of images taken by drone or hand-held digital camera into a 3D reality mesh that can then be consumed inside Bentley OpenRoads products to speed our civil engineering design work. We are eager to begin deploying this technology on a wide array of projects,” said Christopher B. Burke, Ph.D., PE, D.WRE, Dist.M. ASCE, NAC, president, Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd.

                            “With this release of ContextCapture, reality meshes are now more accessible throughout ArcGIS workflows as well as Bentley’s native V8i design modeling workflows including those using OpenRoads, AECOsim, and OpenPlant. Through our advances in integrating reality models of any scale into geospatial workflows, GIS professionals, particularly those using Esri ArcGIS products, can now affordably incorporate high-fidelity models of the real world into their existing GIS datasets,” said Santanu Das, SVP, design modeling at Bentley Systems.

                            Momentum is now building for autonomous vehicles, with GNSS as a key component.
                            Published: 
                            18 July 2016

                            At the joint ‘Insurance Telematics’ and ‘Connected Cars’ conference in London, vehicle manufacturers, software engineers, public authorities and many more heard how GNSS- and internet-enabled vehicles are changing the road transport landscape.

                            Major vehicle manufacturers are now delivering motor vehicles with connected services for drivers, including real-time traffic and weather reports and accident or road works warnings. More applications are on the way, and the technology systems that support them will enable the increasing number of autonomous vehicles that will soon be cruising down our roads and highways.

                            A key message from the conference was to see integrated GNSS systems as providing more than just positioning and navigation. For example, with GNSS a wide range of other key services are made possible, including:

                            • Precise navigation systems
                            • Autonomous vehicles and assisted driving
                            • Cooperative ITS
                            • Usage-based insurance schemes
                            • Road pricing and congestion charging
                            • Automated eCall distress signals
                            • Intelligent speed adaptation

                            As to the use of GNSS within the connected car, the trend is for carmakers to take a more important role within GNSS-related services. In fact, by 2020 more and more vehicles with built-in GNSS and fewer ‘nomadic devices’ like portable GNSS receivers will be coming onto the market. This trend is already being seen in prototype autonomous driving cars, where GNSS is viewed as a fundamental enabling technology.

                            Another advantage that GNSS has within the connected car is that it is complementary to and interoperable with other automotive technologies. Although today we talk about sensor-based versus connection-based solutions for a variety of vehicle services, a ‘converged solution’ seems to be the best alternative, combining the best of both approaches. By integrating sensor data and connectivity-based information operators can reduce the need for the most expensive sensors and, at the same time, save money on infrastructure. Accurate and secure GNSS will help drastically reduce costs, with a single, integrated ‘GNSS engine’ embedded within the vehicle that will provide positioning, navigation and timing for all needs – including many different applications and car functions.

                            Protecting your car from cyber attacks

                            With the advent and rapid spread of connectivity in cars, cyber security has suddenly become a major concern within the automotive industry. At a special session on cyber security, Anna Stylianou from SBD explained how new connected technologies, including those specifically aimed at increasing safety, have actually increased the attack surface available to hackers. “As vehicles become completely autonomous, they become more reliant on connected services and GNSS, and even ‘driver fall-back’ in case of error will no longer be an option,” she said. “As a result, the risks associated with hacking or GNSS jamming and spoofing will be even greater.”

                            Luckily, Galileo, which is set to launch initial services later this year, will play a key role in combating these security threats. “There is an increasing need to deliver a robust GNSS module that can provide an efficient, resilient and low-cost defence against jamming or spoofing attacks,” said GSA Deputy Head of Market Development Fiametta Diani. “Galileo will be a dual frequency service, so it will be resistant to atmospheric interference, and it will have greater resistance to multipath interference, or interference due to signal reflections off buildings and other objects, such as in urban canyons.”

                            Galileo will also have an authentication signal to detect intentional interference, such as spoofing attacks. “This authentication feature is essentially a digital signature that will be available on the E1 Open Service frequency, but also on the Commercial Service E6 frequency, which will certainly be interesting for autonomous driving,” said Diani.

                            In a key announcement, Diani cited a new independent study by Broadcom, a major international wireless and broadband company, which confirms Galileo mitigation of multipath effects. “Recent tests by Broadcom show that Galileo E1 is a better solution against multipath than GPS L1,” she said. “The strength of the Galileo signal, together with an advanced code modulation, makes Galileo better at mitigating multipath effects, especially in E5, but also in E1.”

                            Receivers that support Galileo show better performance in a multipath environment. This is because by supporting more constellations, one increases the chances of being able to select only direct line-of-sight signals. Not only that, but E1 measurements from Galileo satellites are more accurate in multipath environments than L1 measurements from GPS satellites – meaning the effect of multipath is two times smaller with Galileo E1 compared to GPS L1.

                            The authentication feature will be operational in the Open Service from 2018, at which time Galileo will be the sole and unique GNSS constellation offering such a security feature.

                            Europe in push for autonomous vehicles

                            Momentum is now building for autonomous vehicles, with GNSS as a key component, and here the European Union is delivering the policy support to back up this movement. Last April, for example, the transport ministers of all 28 EU Member States signed the ‘Amsterdam Declaration’ during an informal meeting of the Transport Council. The document lays out the specific steps necessary for the development of self-driving technologies in the EU. With this new Declaration, the European Commission and its Member States, along with the transport industry, have pledged to develop rules and regulations for autonomous vehicles – meaning Europe has a shared strategy on connected and autonomous driving.

                            This clear commitment on the part of the EU means the GSA can move forward with confidence in its support for research in this exciting new area. In fact, several ongoing research projects are already being funded by the GSA under the EU’s research framework budget, including Horizon 2020 projects , ‘Indrive’ and ‘Inlane’; many of which involve such European big-name players as TomTom, Fiat or Renault.

                            In November, a new call for proposals under the Horizon 2020 Framework Programme will be launched. The call will have a total budget of €33 million and is specifically targeting research in support of GNSS, including autonomous vehicle technologies.

                            Stay tuned to the GSA website for more information.

                            HIGHLIGHTS:  ISPRS COUNCIL | PHOTON LIDAR | STUDENTS | DUBAI Photon Lidar Airborne Lidar has matured over the last two decades into a mapping technology routinely used for 3D modelling of urban areas, capturing boreal forests, seabed mapping and many other applications all over the world. The speed with which the laser pulses are fired continues to soar and for a number of commercial systems it has reached the impressive number of one million pulses per second. Multiple pulses in air and (full) waveform digitisation are other developments which found their way to the users in recent years. Read on… 16 Years’ Experience on the ISPRS Council (By Orhan Altan)Looking back, I have been able to carry out the priorities set at the beginning of my term. In 2000, when I was elected as Congress Director, my priority was to organise an excellent event that would be memorable in the minds of people for a long time and I can confess that I have achieved this goal, as I still meet many people around the world who thank me for the wonderful congress in 2004. Another interim goal that arose during my time as congress director was the request of young scientists to have their own programme at the congress, which resulted in the establishment of youth sessions and, after the congress, a summer school for more than 80 students. This became a sustained tradition at many ISPRS events and congresses and led to the establishment of a student consortium. […]

                            14 July 2016

                            Spanish technology company BQ announces that their new Aquaris X5 Plus smartphone will be the first European Galileo-ready smartphone to hit the market.

                            In anticipation of the planned launch of Galileo Initial Services later this year, the European GNSS Agency (GSA) welcomes the first European Galileo-ready smartphone. The Aquaris X5 Plus smartphone, produced by the Spanish technology company BQ, is based on the Galileo-supported Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor, with Galileo capability accessible via a software update to be released in Q4 2016.

                            This news follows on the heels of the June 21 announcement by US-based Qualcomm that the company was adding support for Galileo across its Snapdragon processor and modern portfolios for smartphone, computing, automotive and IoT applications. Qualcomm Technologies is a world leader in 3G, 4G and next-generation wireless technologies.

                            “Location Based Services (LBS) are undoubtedly the largest GNSS market segment, both in terms of number of devices and revenue potential, and thus are a strategic target for the GSA. I am glad to see Galileo is now starting to take-off in the smartphone arena,” says GSA Executive Director, Carlo des Dorides.

                            As a result of the uptake of Galileo by these two global technology leaders, EU citizens will be able to benefit from the improved location performance that Europe’s very own GNSS programme provides.
                            “The key to Galileo’s success in this market is to ensure its uptake by LBS device manufacturers. We are excited that a European smartphone manufacturer is  pioneering the use of Galileo for enhanced LBS solutions,” added GSA Head of Market Development, Gian Gherardo Calini.

                            It is a great privilege for BQ to be one of the first in the world to offer Galileo in our devices,” says BQ Assistant General Manager, Rodrigo del Prado. “This is a clear demonstration of Europe’s robust technological capabilities.”

                            “Qualcomm is pleased to have worked with BQ, the GSA and the European Commission on the Aquaris X5 Plus and the key milestone that Galileo support within the device represents. Accurate, reliable, and rapid position location is an important part of the mobile experience. Users will not only benefit from more accurate and faster position location, but also a powerful range of features enabled by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 processor,” says Roberto Di Pietro, Vice President of Business Development at Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

                            The next-generation Aquaris X5 Plus smartphone comes equipped with a 3,200 mAh battery, Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 Octa Core processor, up to 1.8 GHz and an Adreno 510 graphic processor of up to 550 MHz. It features a 16 Mpx back camera, Sony IMX298 sensor, f/2.0 dual tone flash and phase detection focus, along with a Sony IMX219 sensor-equipped 8 Mpx front camera. The phone offers 4K video recording, video stabiliser, fingerprint scanner and NFC.

                            Evergreen Bentley Licenses Recover Forfeited Investment in Orphaned Autodesk Licenses

                            EXTON, Pa., U.S.A. – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure, today announced its Autodesk License Upgrade Program. For consideration by owners of Autodesk perpetual licenses facing Autodesk’s imminent deadline for the write-off of the future value of their investment, Bentley Systems is offering recovery of the value otherwise subject to forfeit. Bentley Systems will credit the net value of Autodesk licenses towards upgraded “evergreen” perpetual licenses of Bentley’s applications. These perpetual licenses never depreciate, as (for instance) Bentley’s SELECT’s annual “portfolio balancing” permits exchanges among Bentley’s comprehensive application portfolio. 

                            Bhupinder Singh, Bentley’s Chief Product Officer, said, “Bentley Systems considers purchases of perpetual licenses to be long-term investments by our users, so we continually innovate to increase their value. We are glad to now extend this 'future-proofing' to Autodesk license owners who otherwise will lose value in their applications. And we will continue to offer users the choice to purchase licenses or subscriptions to fit their commercial preferences. Especially with the new CONNECT Edition generation of our applications, which leverage intrinsic cloud services, I’m convinced that former Autodesk users will considerably prefer the many BIM advancements of our comprehensive modeling environment.”

                            Roy Kim, Principal of PacRim Engineering, said, “Bentley’s new Autodesk License Upgrade Program was a fitting solution for our organization -- a small business which is experiencing growth. With Bentley’s CONNECT Edition applications, our users came up to speed quickly and are already realizing impressive productivity gains.”  

                            John Cruikshank, President & CEO, JMC2 Civil Engineering + Surveying, said, “Autodesk continually sets deadlines forcing us to give up our perpetual license for an annual subscription. Their actions have made sticking with the great Bentley products that much easier. With design software being the lifeblood of our civil engineering and surveying operations, it has always been our objective to keep our applications up to date and to maximize our investment. Bentley’s new Autodesk License Upgrade Program is the perfect solution for us. And with Bentley’s CONNECT Edition applications, our staff can get up to speed fast, giving us unheard-of growth in productivity.”

                            Jenn Goodwin, Business Manager with Bennett Engineering, said, “Bentley’s new Autodesk License Upgrade Program was the perfect solution for our company during this growth period. With Bentley’s CONNECT Edition applications, users are up and running quickly and easily.”

                            The first official release of the Galileo Open Service Signal-in-Space Operational Status Definition Document is geared towards Galileo receiver manufacturers and is intended to serve as a guide to the use of the various SIS health indicators for implementation of robust navigation systems.

                            The European Commission and the European GNSS Agency (GSA) announce the publication of the first official release of the Galileo Open Service Signal-in-Space Operational Status Definition document (OS SIS OSD v1.1). The release is a follow-up to a preliminary document issued last year for public consultation (OS SIS ISD, v1.0) and incorporates numerous improvements suggested by the user community during the consultation process.

                            OS SIS OSD v1.1 complements the Galileo Open Service Signal-in-Space Interface Control Document (OS SIS ICD v1.2, 2015) by describing the encoding and use of the SIS Status for the OS. The SIS Status, or the operational status of the OS SIS broadcast by each Galileo satellite, determines the applicability of the minimum performance level of services defined in the Galileo Open Service – Service Definition Document (OS SDD), which will be published later this year.

                            The OS SIS OSD, which is specifically targeted towards Galileo receiver manufacturers, is meant to serve as a guide to using the various SIS health indicators for implementation of robust navigation systems.

                            The Galileo OS SIS OSD v1.1 document can be downloaded here.

                            The support of the European Space Agency (ESA) in the preparation of this document is gratefully acknowledged.

                            GSA in the innovation driver’s seat

                            Knowledge, innovation and business support serve as the springboard for Galileo and EGNOS.

                            With Galileo Initial Services set to launch later this year, positioning the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) downstream market to take full advantage of the programme continues to be a hot topic. Here the European GNSS Agency (GSA) is taking the lead, working with the European Commission, to support the development of a sustainable GNSS downstream market by fostering European GNSS adoption.

                            Speaking at a recent workshop hosted by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), GSA Head of Market Development Gian Gherardo Calini discussed how innovation drives downstream space activities and what the GSA is doing to support this. According to Calini, the key drivers for innovation in GNSS include information, knowledge exchange, the generation of new business ideas, direct support to new technology adoption, research and development (R&D) technology and a robust policy framework.

                            “Education drives tomorrow’s innovation, building cutting-edge competences in European GNSS, cross-fertilising the skills and strengthening European industry’s position in the global market,” he says. “The GSA believes that education in European GNSS is key to ensuring the success of Galileo and EGNOS.”

                            “In the downstream space domain, European GNSS – Galileo and EGNOS – can be a major game changer, representing a catalyst to ignite evolution in the GNSS industry, service provision, application development and technological advances,” adds Greg Sadlier of London Economics, also speaking at the event. “Through education, capacity building and knowledge transfer, the GSA is raising awareness of the opportunities offered by European GNSS and how all segments, from Aviation to the Internet of Things, can benefit from the guidance and resources provided by the GSA to turn research into innovative market opportunities, and economic growth.”

                            In support of this push to raise awareness about European GNSS, the GSA has been actively involved in the promotion of a number of tools and projects. For example, the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)-funded GENIUS project supported and nurtured a network of universities and research institutions active in the provision of GNSS training in the area of satellite navigation technologies, applications and services. The project laid the foundation for the development of pan-European collaborations that enabled technology transfer between universities, research institutes and industry.

                            Likewise, the Horizon 2020-funded E-KnoT project is focused on strengthening the interaction between three areas: education, research and industry in Europe. It is leveraging on past activities already undertaken in the field in order to strengthen this European GNSS knowledge triangle. The end result will be a solid network for the creation of a critical mass involving relevant actors coming together to support the development of Europe’s economy.

                            Building businesses

                            “Once the proper skills are established, we need to support the actual entrepreneur, SME or business by making proper market knowledge readily available,” says Calini. “On this point, the GSA is leading the way with its GNSS Market Report, which is recognised worldwide as a comprehensive source of knowledge and information on the GNSS global market.” The report, which is available for download free of charge, not only covers the GNSS market in general, but also provides market segment specific analysis.

                            In addition to the Market Report, the GSA is also involved in an array of activities aimed at providing support to European businesses leveraging the power of GNSS. For example, the agency helps European industry carve out a share of the lucrative Asian market via such international knowledge exchange initiatives as GNSS Asia and the BELS project. It also sponsors numerous contests and awards aimed at stimulating innovation, including the GSA Special Prize, part of the annual European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC). The GSA Special Prize supports the best ideas and applications that utilise Galileo’s Initial Services and the power of a multi-constellation environment to provide new and more robust benefits to the end-user.

                            Support for adoption, e.g. by key players in the downstream market value chain, is also very important, especially for central actors like chipset and receiver manufacturers. As a result of the GSA’s commitment to supporting innovation and helping companies take their ideas to commercialisation, such as through the Horizon 2020 programme and Fundamental Elements initiative, 17 chipset and receiver manufacturers already adopted Galileo this year, up from just 3 in 2010 – now representing more than 95 % of the total global supply.

                            “Here I can say with confidence that the GSA is in the driver’s seat with our foot firmly on the innovation accelerator,” concludes Calini.

                            The European GNSS Agency elected CNES President and France’s inter-ministerial coordinator for European satellite navigation programmes Jean-Yves Le Gall as the new chair of its Administrative Board.

                            During the 45th meeting of the European GNSS Agency’s (GSA) Administrative Board, CNES (the French Space Agency) president and France’s inter-ministerial coordinator for European satellite navigation programmes Jean-Yves Le Gall was elected as its new chair. The Board also elected Mark Bacon, representing the United Kingdom, as its new deputy chair.

                            “I am honoured to have been elected chair of the GSA Administrative Board, with Galileo now poised to enter its operational phase,” says Le Gall. “This election confirms the desire of Member States to join forces on the cusp of a prolific period for European space as we move Galileo towards full operational capability.”

                            Le Gall thanked outgoing chair Sabine Dannelke of the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure for her leadership over the last few years and went on to say, “I look forward to working hand-in-hand with Executive Director Carlo des Dorides and everyone at the GSA, whom I already know well from my role at CNES.”

                            “With Galileo Initial Services set to launch later this year and the subsequent transfer of responsibility for Galileo operations to the GSA, this is a critical time for the agency,” says des Dorides. “I am pleased that the Member States continue to support the agency with confidence and I look forward to working closely with both Jean-Yves and Mark as Europe’s space programmes enter this new chapter.”

                            “I am very pleased to have been elected to work with the Board and I look forward to helping the GSA deliver on the Galileo and EGNOS programmes over the coming years,” adds Bacon.

                            The GSA Administrative Board is composed of representatives from each EU Member State, the European Commission, and the EU parliament. The Board meets three times per year to take various decisions (budget, work programme, etc.) and ensure that the Agency performs its entrusted tasks according to the regulation.

                            Sonda ESA Venus Express zřejmě pomohla vysvětlit dosud nejasnou absenci vody na Venuši. Planeta má překvapivě silné elektrické pole - první, které se kdy podařilo změřit u jiné planety - které je dostatečné k odstranění kyslíku z horních vrstev atmosféry. Ten je přitom jedním ze základních stavebních kamenů vody.

                            Obvykle se vydávají do výšky 400 km, ale příští týden pošle ESA šest kosmonautů do kamenitých jeskyní na Sardinii - do hloubky 800 metrů. Jeskynní kurz věrně replikuje aspekty kosmického letu s mezinárodní posádkou, takže se v poslední době stal základní součástí výcviku kosmonautů ESA.

                            Transition to Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform for Crossrail’s Asset Information Management System

                            LONDON – U.K. Rail Conference – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure, today announced that it has successfully upgraded Crossrail’s Common Data Environment (CDE) for asset information through Bentley’s AssetWise managed services to a hybrid cloud-computing platform powered by Microsoft Azure. This provides a single location for storing, sharing, and managing information for approximately 1 million assets.

                            Europe’s largest construction project, Crossrail has been designed in a virtual environment for 3D, 4D, and 5D BIM, powered by Bentley’s comprehensive modeling software. Bentley’s asset information management solution, AssetWise, based on Bentley’s eB technology, manages the engineering and asset information in the Crossrail project and provides a complete, federated view of “digital railway” information.

                            “Crossrail is leading the world in demonstrating the value of BIM to realize greater efficiency and cost effectiveness in project delivery and asset lifecycle information management,” said Alan Kiraly, SVP, Bentley Systems.

                            “We’re proud of our work together with Bentley Systems, one of our most important global collaborators,” said David Epp, Alliances Director, Microsoft Corp. “We’re particularly impressed by Crossrail’s groundbreaking ambition in building both a digital and physical railway, and are delighted to have had the opportunity to come together with Bentley to address the challenges and requirements of this world-class endeavor.”

                            About Crossrail

                            Crossrail is Europe’s largest construction project with a total funding envelope of £14.8bn. The route will run over 100km from Reading and Heathrow in the west, through new tunnels under London to Shenfield and Abbey Wood in the east. It will bring an additional 1.5 million people within 45 minutes commuting distance of London's key business districts. The Transport for London (TfL) run railway will be named the Elizabeth line when services through central London open in December 2018. The Crossrail project is being delivered by Crossrail Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of TfL, and is jointly sponsored by the Department for Transport and TfL.
